I keep talking about estimands and people usually politely nod and say "yes, of course, research questions needs to be articulated clearly."
But actually I think I might have to make my demand more explicit: Actually spell out the (factual or counterfactual) variables and worlds you're contrasting!
If this turns out as described, this is massive news.

Scientists: for a new story, I have one big question—>
What is a “good day” in the lab?
I’m looking for epic examples of the best day ever to general criteria for what constitutes a “good day” compared to a nothing-burger day.
Ping me if you have examples to share!
Re-posts appreciated!
You need to bring in the same toolkit as in studies that try to establish causality without randomization.
I know it sounds unfair, but I don’t make the rules. These situations are instances of post-treatment bias, if you want to read up on it as a psychologist:

New paper, on a worrying trend in meta-science: the practice of anonymising datasets on, e.g., published articles. We argue that this is at odds with norms established in research synthesis, explore arguments for anonymisation, provide counterpoints, and demonstrate implications and epistemic costs.
hello friends! does anyone know of open data of an RL task (single- mult-armed bandit tasks) that also list (a variable) ITI per trial in humans?
